As an Jr. Art Director, you are proficient in traditional design programs and have a deep understanding of the specific design demands of both traditional, digital and experiential media. You strive to produce innovative and memorable cross-channel work that continues to make our agency, and the brands we work for, stand out and be talked about in the industry and around the proverbial water cooler.
This position requires a passionate and talented Art Director with a sharp eye for attention to detail who will create and execute daily design deliverables across a wide variety of creative mediums.

You are a design athlete and have experience creating campaigns across a variety of platforms including experiential, branding, identity design, print, digital, OOH and more (motion design a plus).
We’re looking for someone who thrives in diverse and collaborative team environments. You find inspiration everywhere and get excited about sharing your design rationale with compelling storytelling. Last, but certainly not least, we are looking for someone who champions our commitment to fostering a welcoming and inclusive work culture.

You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
